I very much enjoy the "mood" you've set with this game... it's lonely, but somehow the music still makes me feel a little hopeful.  I was enjoying the mechanics, found a lovely glowing tree... but then I got stuck under one of the lower passages.  So I tried again, avoiding the place I got stuck the first time, only to get stuck under another low passage.  It seems maybe the collision box on my character is getting caught somehow.  I couldn't crouch or walk in any direction once I got hung up.

Yes you are absolutely right! Had a couple of friends play through the game and some encountered the same bug. Will fix!

I would be happy to try to get further into the game if you do get that weird collision issue fixed.  I'm interested to see what happens when I find 3 glowing trees.  :)

Scaring away and avoiding enemies instead of fighting them is a really cool mechanic, great game!

I liked the sound design! Good Job :D

I liked the game, the atmosphere is on point, sound and music are really nice. Congrats to the team !! I felt a little frustated when I died in a platform that was dangerous, because I could not identify it was dangerous (no visual cue, only the hit after it was too late)

The gameplay and controls were nice and smooth. It certainly seems like a lot of time and effort went into create the world. I enjoyed the idea of having your torch be a time limit, as it added a nice amount of tension to the game. Overall, it was a short and sweet game that I had a fun time exploring.

It's like if Inside was a platformer. Would play a full release of this. Very nice work!

Nice work! The controls were smooth. It a little bit confusing that everything is grey! Overall nice game!

My pal says "really lovely atmosphere and graphics, and love the moody music!" (she's not on itch)

I agree!

This game was very atmospheric! It reminds me a lot of LIMBO. Searching for the pieces of wood felt like you're walking miles, which really helped sell the overall vibe of desperation the game is going for. I really enjoyed playing this. Good job!

Yeah, I think that's what we were working toward! Thanks for the positive feedback!
